--------
In this clip, Vlad continues to speak to John Salley about Pras’ federal trial, and Vlad stated that Pras could’ve given the money back in a plea deal. John explained that the love of money is the root of all evil, and he stated that he “feels sorry” for Pras. When it comes to the money, John stated that maybe Pras didn’t have the money to give back to the feds, and Vlad pointed out that Leonardo DiCaprio took the stand in Pras’ case. Moving along, Vlad stated that the talent is Lauryn Hill and Wyclef in The Fugees, and Vlad added that Lauryn Hill and Wyclef’s careers are “head and shoulders” above Pras. From there, John Salley pointed to other groups with three members, like The Lox and Migos, which led to him stating that people didn’t truly know Takeoff’s talents before his solo album.

John Salley fully understands the importance of Pras to the Fugees. Salley played on one of the best teams in NBA history. It took all 5 starters to win back to back rings. Isiah and Dumars got the buckets, but they don't win without Rodman, Laimbeer and Salley doing the dirty work. Lauren was the voice of the Fugges, but without Wyclef and Pras, The Score never gets made. It's the sum of all parts not just the individual.

My 8 year old son executive produced my album 😂 you can literally name anyone as exec. on a project and half the time they didn’t do anything except basically co-sign it. Just like Kanye executive produced Cartis album and 50 with pop smoke, they do it to combine fanbases. Everyone knows Clef made all the beats, structured the songs, him and Lauren sung the hooks, and gave pras homeboy status as exec, to “announce” to the world: “this guy is important, this guy is who you need to be checking for next”

@MarcPlaysDrums Жыл бұрын

@@alangreen7050 but your son can’t broker a deal and negotiate how many points you get on the contract. And if the album flops he isn’t solely responsible for the debt incurred. They made that album on Praz’s back. He was the one that said take the money and reinvest it into the studio they had built in Cleff’s basement. Praz was the money manager and Cleff AND Lauren both admitted it. A lotta albums go diamond and the artist is broke…but the Fugees made crazy money. That’s because of Praz and how he negotiated the deal they had with Columbia. He can’t rap but he knows money. No offense but your son ain’t doing all that(and more than likely you ain’t either or you wouldn’t be on here capping like you are).

Pras has always honoured Vlad's interviews. Pras has always been respectful. Even at one time, Vlad wanted Pras to speak on the 'entanglement' between Clef & Lauryn. Pras tacticaly dodged the question and directed it to the actual focus - him!! I know he is going through so much right now. But Vlad doesn't seem to show solidarity to one person who has appeared on his platform. Lesson blackmen: The world is corporate. The feelings are not mutual. Watch your bakkk. In your lowest times, those who you think should hold you down and the ones who gonna find joy in broadcasting your low. Vlad is a perfect example.

Nothing shady about it. The painting was a gift from the studio that produced Wolf of Wallstreet. They made many other movies and DiCaprio had no way of knowing that the head of the studio was using stolen money. He had his legel team perform all the checks and hired an outside legal firm to perform checks. They all said the studio was legitimate. Sohow the hell was he to know any different. And the painting was a gift to be auctioned off for charity. It was not like DiCaprio was keeping it for himself.

Outside of nepotism how does Vlad have a job. "Qtip without Tribe never hit". Forget his solo work with *"AMPLIFIED"* being one of the best albums of 99/2000. The guy was THEE VOICE on every major collaboration or guest track. Literally 50% of songs during that Violator period of the early 2000s had Tip. Even before that he was doing work with Madonna and Dee-Lite. Afterwards he went on to be THEE DJ for about a decade for every hot club and major celebrity event. TO THIS DAY How do I know? He was my Tues and Friday DJ in NYC for by far the hottest most exclusive nights. He then would do every major fashion event or celeb bday party. Vlad is clueless

Vlad is very disrespectful to say all of Pras success came from this one incident. Pras was victim of the same crime as Leonardo, Pras didn't feel he did anything wrong since he had no idea of the guy's background. Feds came down hard on Pras because Pras didn't do what they wanted him to do.
